Project: Nestle Purina Visible Plume Assessment

Project details:Nestle Purina operate a pet-food production plant in Blayney, NSW. Under particular atmospheric conditions, a visible fog plume was emitted from the plant’s biofilter, which is a breach of their operating licence. KMH conducted an assessment to provide an understanding of the conditions likely to lead to visual impacts to enable adjustments to plant operations during these times, reducing the likelihood of a visible plume. KMH also advised on potential modifications to the existing emission treatment systems and alternate mitigation measures that could be used to ensure emissions remain below licence limits.
